thanx

i'll try to change some bios settings
heh
i switched the SATA HDD with the windows xp on it as a primary boot
i also tried to disable or other boots , and i even tried to disable the new IDE HDD from the BIOS , and also tried to set it as SLAVE to my CDRW , still nothing , all the same :| even setting the jumpers to make it slave and master , didn't help.

im kind of hopeless now ,
i think i will take it to a local hardware store and get it fixed ,
thou it's shame that i have to spend like 150NIS out of my pocket just to plug a damn hard drive that i already payed for. :|
